Blogging With Tad Wayside, Kumquat Computer Corporation - Chief Financial Officer

Well, so this is my blog. I'm not sure what the point of this is supposed to be. Thor wants the executive team to do this so we look like a cool company, and "connect" with the employees. Geez I'm already connected to the employees, I mean I already personally review every single expense report they submit! Well I guess it's not as bad as Karla forcing us to drink her $400 a pound Kopi Luwak iced mochaspressos and scones every morning.

I know it's costing us money to have these things, I'm just not sure how much. So, OK, Thor, if that's really your name, I'll play along here and write my "thoughts" down here.

Office Supplies

Was performing my usual weekly inspection of  the office trash in Santa Clara today and found perfectly good paperclips. Why are managers not being held accountable for what their employees throw away? Need metrics, need better accounting on office supplies. Use staples at least 3 times. Write on the BACK of paper. And the cost of all this ink and toner is out of control, there must be a cheaper supplier than whoever we're using now!

Dreams

I have this recurring dream. I am driving to work and see a Ford Taurus. Then there are two of them. Then three. Suddenly I am surrounded by Taurus's. Taurus's in front. Taurus's in back. All of them Blarney Stone Metallic Green. And every single one of them driven by Leprechauns. And I am paying for all of them. I see one of them pull into a huge gas station and this Leprechaun leans out of the window and says, "filler up with Premium, no matter, me rich uncle is picking up the bill - so spill a few quarts of that windshield wash on the ground for me too". Every time I see a Taurus on the road, I break into a cold sweat. It just keeps getting worse every day. What could this mean?
